Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce - Northampton
Has anyone started or have information on the Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce, preferably in Northampton?
I want to start the course asap, but I don't seem to be getting very far in finding a place to start it, how much I will have to pay and exactly how I will be assessed for it.
Two ladies at the local pre-school are doing their level 3 through Northampton College, they attend the collage one day a week and spend the rest of the time at pre-school or doing assignments etc at home. But will this be the same for me? I think they are finishing the old NVQ 3, not the new level 3 Diploma.
First I rang my DO, that was at the beginning of April, she said they didn't have the full details as it's a new course, beginning of the financial year, only just received confirmation about funding etc, so I've waited. Then she contacted me saying the YMCA would fully fund me if I met certain criteria for the pilot funding for 2 year olds but I don't think I do (my mindee is only 1 and I don't live in a 'deprived' area)... Then she started talking about network childminding, I said ok, but I have to have a level 3 or at least be doing a level 3 for this...
So I've tried searching for places to get started, Northampton College start the course in September. But I'd really like to get it started sooner... and preferably somewhere that NCA will fund me at least partially to do this.
Also waiting for someone from NCA to phone back, but every time they've said that someone will call back they never actually do! Well, once they did, two weeks later!!!
Sorry that turned into quite a rant didn't it?
